What Happens To You During A Panic Attack?Haley

Hi Haley, thanks alot for sharing your story with me, we do have alot in common, or at least when it comesto our panic attacks. I feel the exact same way when I'm having a panic attack. To tell you the honest truth, it always felt like I had the flu 24 hrs a day,7 days a week. Everywhere I went, I was nauseas and always thought I would get sick. I agree with you, it isthe worst feeling in the world that I have ever experiencedin my whole life. It is very uncomfortable and for the longest time, I could never make plans ahead of time, if Iwoke up feeling good, I could then decide to leave the house.I've been taking Effexor XR for almost five full weeks now,at 37.5mg per day. A few weeks ago, my doctor recommended Iincrease to 75mg daily but I haven't yet done so, only becauseI have never once experienced side effects with this drug and I'm afraid that by increasing my dosage, I might now have them.I spoke with my doctor again yesterday and he strongly recommendsI increase in the next few days. I've made the decision that I will do just that on this following Monday. Hopefully I will haveenough courage to do so, wish me luck.

Also, Good Luck to you, hopefully we can recover and live a normallife again!
